Hello friends! I’m trying to hurry up and finish up the summer paper collections since autumn is right around the corner. I used Simple Stories Summer Farmhouse collection to make cards for a local charity. Since the charity mails out the cards, I made sure not to add any extra dimension. I don’t want the charity to have to pay additional postage. I used lots of Love From Lizi peel off stickers and specialty cardstock to add a little extra sparkle and shine.
Even though this isn’t a 6×6 paper pad, I still used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 30 cards.
Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
Here is the cardstock I first pulled before starting on the cards. I always pull out way more cardstock than I ever use. I list the brands and colors if I have the information. Some of my cardstock has been in my craft room for many, many years.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 9 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 6 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors that were used on the cards
Lava – Bazzill
Peppermint – Bazzill
Typhoon – Bazzill
Polar Ice – Darice
Dark blue – unknown
Dark Fairy Tale Pink – Color Mates
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Simple Stories Summer Farmhouse 6×8 paper pack.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
I appreciate your kindness and support!
I love that you have a pink bike! What a bright and cheerful collection of cards. The LFLizi circles you used to keep things flat are perfect! I *need* those! Think of the money they will save in postage! lol! TFS!
Thank you, Jennifer! Yes, I had to have a pink bike. Penny’s bike is pink as well since it’s currently her favorite color. Lol! LFL’s new mini circle, star, and heart peel offs are wonderful. Perfect for adding a touch of bling without the extra dimension. 🙂
Your cards are so bright and cheerful, Kristie. You showcased the papers beautifully!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Another fabulous set of cards. You’re such a rockstar!
Aw, thanks! You are very kind! 🙂
